@Teri_Kanefield Today's Republicans like Putin and United Russia (Putin's party) because they're ideologically aligned on many issues.

They're NATURAL ALLIES.

From March 7, 2017:

Why Republicans like Putin  dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…
@Teri_Kanefield 3 short articles that I found super helpful for understanding what's *actually* been going on with the GOP.

@Teri_Kanefield In an international study, the GOP *platform* was found to be FUNDAMENTALLY neo-fascist.

We CAN'T overcome increasing neo-fascism in US gov w/o a reckoning about this in MSM.

Republican Party has evolved into an American version of Europe's neo-fascists.

@Teri_Kanefield Folks keep missing the forest for the trees re: Trump/GOP & relations w/ OTHER authoritarian leaders/parties(e.g. Putin, Edrogan, etc.):

👉🏼They're IDEOLOGICALLY aligned.👈🏼

@Teri_Kanefield Studies have demonstrated that the ONE characteristic that linked 2016 Trump voters across all *other* characteristics is that THEY ARE AUTHORITARIANS. 😖

Trump is a SYMPTOM of #AmericanFascism.

Many feel pessimistic about this article. No good choice for Damascus:
- either the US withdraw & Turkey take al-Hasaka
- or Turkey and US remain in Syria occupying each a part of the country

The only other far alternative is in the hands of the Kurds.

If the #Kurds join, fully, the Syrian government and stop acting as a human shield to the US occupation forces, the #USA will no longer feel safe and will have to leave. This is the only plausible scenario where the damage is limited.

Otherwise...+

The US wants to see a buffer zone (13,000 sqkm) in Turkish hands. This means the YPG and their families, including all those rejecting a Turkish control, will have to leave.

Idlib, under jihadists control, is very dangerous for the authority of Damascus. This is the priority.

Antonov: Politicians in #Washington are very far from the people. What they are doing doesn't meet interests of American people.

#Putin now on Channel one gives interview on #HelsinkiSummit, says he agreed with Trump to continue working at the expert level on some of the "new ideas that there are on how to fix conflict in east of #Ukraine."
#Putin after having studied #Trump today: @realDonaldTrump can listen, but keeps his own opinion on many issues" adds many mistakingly call his approach that of businessman but he is acting as a pure politician because he is very much catering to his base, his constituency.
#Putin on #JCPOA:It’s the tool to guarantee nuclear non-proliferation across the region.#Iran one of the most controllable countries by #IAEA.We understnd #Trump’s position,he was saying IRN should stop destructive regional policies. But this[approach]shouldnt lead to nixing deal

NEW on coming #Putin @realDonaldTrump summit: (2nd THREAD)
1. In recent days #Moscow passed a two-page document to #Washington that should serve as a basis/draft for a bilateral communique the two Presidents should present after the #Helsinki talks.
2. According to #Rus sources #US accepted the paper but insisted an issue of "#Russia/n interference into American elections in 2016" is mentioned with due guarantees that this doesn't happen again.
Source: kommersant.ru/doc/3681374?fr…)
3. Other statements on paper allegedly include themes of"sustaining dialogue b/n #Russia/n, #US officials,diplomats,military&security services" as well as development of economic ties,promotion of people-to-people contacts.Bilateral coop called one of factors for global stability

0/10: Let me outline - in 10 tweets - what the sanctions on #Russia have achieved so far, since 2014, economically & geopolitically, from the perspective of the law of unintended consequences: +
1) Sanctions induce ruble devaluation, which improves fiscal balance for the Federal state (aka, Putin) & profitability (& sustainability of state-owned enterprises); +
2/10: + 2) Sanctions make ruble devaluations more ‘palatable' for Kremlin, politically, by creating a popular momentum to support the regime in the face of ‘foreign interventions’; +

THREAD: *Many* ties link Team🇷🇺Trump to #Russia. Manafort & Gates were central‼️

👉🏼Manafort: Trump’s most powerful political operative, helped secure GOP nomination
👉🏼Gates: his deputy, was along for the whole ride

1/
 newsweek.com/manafort-trump…
Team🇺🇸Mueller noticed that Putins's🇷🇺allies paid MILLIONS to Manafort/Gates to impose Moscow’s will on #Ukraine in DIRECT OPPOSITION to stated US foreign policy‼️ 2/
Dmitry Firtash, a Ukrainian oligarch & close ally to Putin & fmr Ukrainian President Yanukovych, is key to the #Russia🇷🇺Manafort connection.

Firtash owns 45% of RosUkrEnergo (RUE)— a shady operation that brings gas from Turkmenistan to Ukraine.🤨

And LAUNDER MONEY‼️ 3/
